(1) Vancouver Canucks vs. (8) Los Angeles Kings Series Thread

[rares]

the question I ask is.... is there a a better alternative available?
same thing with the Caps. I thought firing Boudreau was a mistake, because Dale Hunter is fucking awful.
so if we can Vigneault, what's next? Craig McTavish? no thanks.

Very good point... I don't know much about AV or his coaching style so that's for you guys to comment, but I have the same dilemma with the Sharks and McLellan... There is no doubt that he's a nice guy, who does some things right and who almost always says the right thing... but he's also terribad at some things.

The dilemma being... I wouldn't mind him gone BUT everyone always asks me "well, who do you want to replace him? is there someone out there?" -- and then I have no answer because I have no idea who's out there. Hitchcock would have been great (not just saying that because of this series.. I thought he was a fantastic coach before he joined the Blues)... also, Tippett would have been fantastic. But as far as people available, I can't think of anyone I'd want. /shrug

Sorry for the novel...

meh it was less than 2 mins togo. down by 3. why didn't someone fucking lay him out. Marchand was laughing at Sedin there too. I guess he deserved to they fucking embarrassed the fuck out of us. not sure if we will ever get that close again. Im going down a dark path here

 

[SLY]

I cant see the vid. Did Marshy actually punch Daniel in the head 5-6 times?

Oops... you are right. From that scrum.

18:29 BOS Brad Marchand: Misconduct (10 min) — 10 min
18:29 VAN Maxim Lapierre: Misconduct (10 min) — 10 min
18:29 VAN Daniel Sedin: Misconduct (10 min) — 10 min
18:29 BOS Shawn Thornton: Misconduct (10 min) — 10 min
18:29 BOS Brad Marchand: Roughing — 2 min

We couldn't score on the PP that series so it probably looked like we were 5 on 5.

youre not being serious are you? youre just joking about not remembering this right?

I remember him flipping him along the boards and taking a jab at him in front of the net. It was a year ago...

yer right ... it was only a year ago ... but i bet you remember that wicked spear Burrows gave Thornton in January that almost severed thorntons head from his body ... and then Thornton had to fight 16 canucks ... that was wicked awesome!

Dustin not dishing the Sedins
BROWN: “I got a big hit on him, a hard hit, and he stayed in the game. When you talk about the Sedins, you think about their skill and how good offensively they are. At the end of the day, they’re still hockey players and have that inner drive to want to be a difference-maker. He came back, and it was probably a huge lift for them when he comes back out of the dressing room.’’

Dustin Brown is awesome.

Shows class, leadership and smarts even off the ice. Plays the game hard and hits to put his man down but he's an honest hockey player, IMO.
